x2 - only downside is faster water evaporation, about a cup a day for me.

I just recently installed the 3.24 lighting mod which increases the output to 72w with no visible increase in heat (although the lighting mod comes with 2 replacement fans and a different heat shield). My BC14 runs at about 78 degrees at night and 80 degrees in the day. I'm using a Maxi-Jet 900 as the only powerhead in the aquarium. Temperature in the house is around 18 degrees celcius.
